Has anyone done this? Its a very proprietary program lol, so I can imagine that doesnt work.
But its powerful and my Uni supports it. I am fine with just following classes on Uni PCs and then learning QGis myself, but yeah…
Are there any tricks for running “modern”, maybe DRM infested Software?
Also, how I did it was always just running executables in existing Bottles, as I dont get having a new small OS for each app. But that doesnt seem to work that well in Bottles.
ESRI, the Microsoft or Adobe of Cartography. It’s a shame that public authorities get convinced to pay double.
QGIS is a very nice piece of software, definitely worth checking out. Some of our geographers use Mapinfo (proprietary) but most use QGIS. Everyone hates ESRI.
Some of your classes might require some ESRI plugins… I would check with your teachers if it’s okay to use QGIS, they will certainly know the answer to that question.
If you need to work with their FGDB format you can do that in newer versions of QGIS
Luckily not! Only shb or how its called.
shp? I’d recommend learning QGIS regardless, even if its ui looks like 💩
Good luck in your search!
Shapefiles or something, will work in QGIS. Yeah no way I am gonna use that proprietary cancer
Obligatory switch from shapefile link.
Unfortunately Shapefile is a proprietary format developed by ESRI. QGIS handles it just fine though no problems.
Urg… thanks! I will just have to send this to my Prof and see his reaction, weird Microsoft-Corporate-beard-lightblueshirt-dude
